Tamarind Guesthouse

A step above the rest

No pic at the moment -- Sorry!

What we say:

Tamarind has rooms in both a rafthouse and a simple two-storey building. The rafthouse rooms are large and pleasant, with a shared deck charmingly draped in orchids. Rooms on land have less character, but are spotlessly clean and very comfortable. They're not smartly decorated, but they have big beds, wooden furniture, and come with more amenities than most rooms in this price class. A large communal deck looks over the river, and free internet is offered in the hotel's restaurant. Tamarind is a very friendly spot, and provides a bit more comfort than most of its neighbours at great rates. Recommended.

Check rates around Kanchanaburi best price guarantee!

Really Nice

What a delightful place. The view from the restaurant upstairs is lovely and there's a place to sit on the river, which is really pretty. The staff is good-natured, and the room is a good value -- 150 baht for a two bed room (bathroom separate, but there are four bathrooms and they're clean). Great location; there's a 10 baht **** bar right down the road and a fantastic restaurant across the street; it's about a five minute walk from the Thai-Burma Railway Center. Really ejoyed it!

Clean, basic, comfortable

Went with the 1st floor fan double room for 350 b/night. It was super hot outside but somehow the room stayed nice and cool. Beds were comfortable. Rooms are small and basic, and I kind of felt like I was in summer camp again. Staff were nice, though so much for the free internet - staff occupied the computers the whole time playing video games. Hammock on veranda is relaxing though. I would come back.
